Redundancy in prose is often useful because people forget things and because the real world relationships implied by the grammatical relationships is not always clear. One often finds that overzealous editing for brevity can do a hatchet job on clarity. Technically the meaning may have been preserved, but it becomes something of a grammatical exercise to puzzle it out. Better, sometimes, to leave the redundancy in rather than forcing the reader to go back and hunt down antecedents.
